Take Home Messages• FDA approval of whole slide imaging is driving
Computational Pathology and AI in Pathology• Informatics is key to impact of Comp Path &
predictive analytics in clinical practice• Pathology and Radiology partnerships need to be
enabled• Key Impact Areas – Predictive Analytics for health
and discovery science via Comp Path!
Computational Pathology – What is it?Computational Path = Big Data Science Meets Pathology• Massive Increases in Volume of Digital Data Generated
from WSI PLUS genomic sequencing data –• Heralds the rise of computational pathology• Critical for Personalized Medicine, Learning Health
Systems, Basic Research and “Big Data/Data Science”
From Fuchs, 2017
Definition of Computational Pathology• An approach to diagnosis that
incorporates multiple sources of data (H&E, IHC, IF & genomic data)
• Presents clinically actionable knowledge (big data to knowledge)
• Advanced decision support for precision (personalized) medicine
• Helps to redefine Pathology from an observational to knowledge engineering discipline hence critical to healthcare data science (Louis et al Arch Path Lab Med 2014)
Data Types Critical to Success for Predictive Analytics• Imaging – Rich source of computable information
– Need to De-ID WSI and then “deeply” annotate• Phenotype – From Anatomic Pathology Lab Info Sys
– Structured data from synoptic reports– Unstructured data via NLP (Text Info Extract Sys – TIES)
• Computational Pathology Annotation – more later• Outcomes Data – From Cancer Registry Systems• Data to Integrate – Biobanks, Clinical Pathology &
Molecular Pathology
Support for Comp Path – Integration Needed
What is the Text Info Extraction System (TIES)?• An NLP and Information Retreival system for
de-identifying, annotating, storing and retrieving pathology and radiology documents
• A system for indexing research resources (FFPE, FF, WSI) with document annotations
• An GUI for querying large repository of annotated documents and obtaining resources locally, using an honest broker model
• A platform to support data, biospecimen and both Pathology and Radiology images for sharing among networks of cancer centers and other institutions
Causal Network Discovery = Computational PathologyA probabilistic network approach to uncover genetic drivers of melanoma using data on copy number variation and gene expression*

2. Integration of H&E, IHC and IF

H&E in transmitted light Multi to hyperplexed
• Universal method • Limited molecular measurements
in transmitted (IHC)• Complex tissue “scenes”
• Emerging method with potential to measure many DNA/RNA/proteins in the same tissue section/TMA
• Structural biomarkers• Quantify biomarker expression
levels and tissue based spatial relationships.
